Pest animals & plants

Page Content

We're responsible for pest management within the Southland region. We
work with people to ensure pest plants and animals do not impact too severely
on the values that give Southland a world class environment.

Our work helps
protecting New Zealand's economy and environment as well as people's social and
cultural wellbeing and health from pests and diseases. It includes trying to prevent
new pests and diseases from arriving, and controlling or eradicating those
already present.
